Dubai Dino
Opening Time:
Dubai Dino, Dubai
The Dubai dino is a 7.6 meter high and 24.4 meters long Skelton of a 155 million years old dinosaur. would have weighed the equivalent of five elephants in its prime and was one of the long-necked herbivorous dinosaurs with a tail tapering to a long, thin whip-like end to defend itself against predators.
The dinosaur belongs to the Diplodocus longus variety and the displayed bones belong to the same auctioned animal, which makes it special. In addition, nearly 90 percent of the bones are original, the statement added. The remains of the adult dinosaur were discovered in a sleeping position in 2008 at the Dana Quarry in the US state of Wyoming. The specimen was previously displayed at the Houston Museum of Natural Science in the US state of Texas. It was sourced through Khalid Seddiq, founder of Etihad Modern Art Gallery in Abu Dhabi, and was put on permanent display at The Dubai Mall in 2014.
